McDaniel Meal Plans offer a wide variety of meal swipes, meal exchanges and McDaniel Bucks combinations.
Regardless of the meal time, your plan enables you to use flexibility while providing flavorful and healthy options.

Meal Swipes may be used at Englar Dining Hall during regular operating hours. The most flexibility is with McDaniel Bucks50 which act as a dollar for dollar exchange in any dining venue. These include Englar Dining Hall, The Pub, Casey's Corner, and the Green n Go C Store. All meal plans include McDaniel Bucks50 for your convenience.

Students living in College-managed residence halls that are not equipped with a kitchen are required by contract to have a meal plan. For first year students, this plan is the GOLD plan and for all other students, this plan is the SILVER plan.

Students have the first two weeks of the semester to change their meal plans.

Food Allergens and Preferences

The student can meet with the dietitian and Chef Manager of their dining hall of choice to learn how to safely navigate the dining locations and discuss appropriate dining options. The student is responsible for communicating any questions or concerns to the Chef Managers or dining supervisors in the dining facilities. We always recommend personal interaction with our management staff to obtain the most accurate information at the time of meal service.
